It has been five years since I created this blog.
It has done incredulous things. This blog is a journey, almost every step carefully - and very painfully - documented. Every high and every low. It is voyage of recovery. Of self discovery. Of acceptance. I have moved mountains since I created this account. I have come so far. I am free of self hatred, empowered by a love for existence. I am at peace with myself. I feel it important to document this. I'm uncertain how many people here today have been through the terrible times in my life with me. Or how many of you would remember. Please: write me if you were there. I want to thank you for your support. I was once over come by self harm. Wracked with self hatred. Damaged by self destruction. Today I write this and I no longer hurt myself with blades, or words. I have grown and matured in a way that allows me to accept myself as I am. Flaws and all. I could never thank this community enough for the love and support that I received over the last five years. Usually at the times when I needed it the most. I will leave this blog open. I want to always refer back to it. I have come so far. I am so proud of myself. I came from a place where there was no light at the end of the tunnel. There was no escape from the depression. Everywhere I turned was heart ache and sadness. Today I hold my head high. An undergraduate degree. A master's degree. A wonderful partner. A perfect son. I am so grateful for all that my past experiences have taught me. No matter how painful, they have shaped who I am today. I urge you all. Have faith in what may come next.
